Under the leadership of Dawn, the three of Brando stepped into his own manor on wet pine needles. Old Scott’s mill was located on the bank of the Butcher River, shrouded in a lush pine forest, but At this season, the pine needles of a tree have already been dyed a faint brown yellow. Through the woods, you can vaguely see a wood-stone structure of a waterwheel mill from this direction. One-third of the huge waterwheel is immersed in the water of the Buch River, slowly turning, bringing up white splashes, and the Buch River is turbulent. But the bottom is clear, and you can see the bottom of the river paved with fine pebbles from the surface of the river.
In Brando’s memory, this is only a corner of the manor. There are actually some houses in the woods. There is a warehouse behind the houses, and behind the houses is a patch of farmland. The end of the farmland is connected to the endless dense forest. It is the stag forest to the south of Braggs; here is the land full of his childhood memories, and these pictures will automatically come to mind without even having to take the initiative to remember.
Dawn has been nagging all the way about what happened to Braggs in the past two years-he is an old servant in the manor, in fact, it can also be said that he is a farmer. In such a small manor, his identity is not so detailed after all; Brando only knew that before he was born, from the time of his grandfather, this man has been working in the manor. He also has a wife named Nosha who works as a cook in the manor. He has been in charge of each other since he was a child. Called Aunt Nosha. In addition, there are several other servants in the manor, and the situation is similar.
Brando deliberately took a closer look at this uncle-level figure who he had known for nearly 20 years. The other party was still the same as he remembered. He looked like a woman. He gave him a bitter warning. In short, he told him not to I haven't heard anything for such a long time, but after all, the other party's attitude towards him, the little master, is still very humble.
Brando only smiled at this, and only treated the words as a breeze. However, he paid special attention to the palms of the opponent's hands. They were definitely not a pair of hands for holding agricultural tools. The densely cocooned positions on them were only marked by swords used for many years, and they had to be heavy swords. He knew that both Eruin and Cruz soldiers preferred heavy swords that were good at fighting, especially the cavalry of the Highlanders.
This so-called Uncle Dawn also has at least the strength of the Silver Tier, and he is also a captain-level figure among the Highland Knights. Brando was ignorant of these details in the past, and he really didn't know what to say.
He did not reveal, but followed behind silently, listening to the other side's nagging. In fact, he knew many things that Dawn said. After the Black Rose War, he stayed in Braggs for a long time after all, and that was Braggs too. During the most turbulent period, the undead retreated, refugees poured in, and after the loss of Butch, the pattern in the south of Golan-Elsen changed greatly, and the impact on this border town was also very obvious. But after hearing that he had disappeared, his mother shed tears almost every day, Brando still felt guilt in his heart. This guilt came purely from the heart and came from deep blood.
He has a dark face. Dawn noticed his little master’s expression, and in turn encouraged him: "Just come back, just come back."
The two young girls followed at the same step, and they were also quietly watching. Although they had known Brando for a long time, they were full of curiosity about Brando's mysterious background. The nagging old servant, this small manor hidden in the woods, and even the creaking waterwheel over there, greatly satisfied their curiosity. Antitina didn’t learn of her lord’s life experience until after the Battle of Amperethel, but what she never dreamed of was that the legendary sword-sage Darus actually lived in such a place after his disappearance. A miller; and Freya guessed from the beginning that Brando might be a noble brother, but in her eyes there is no difference between a big noble and a small noble. The manor is also a person with a good face in her opinion, but she is heartened. I guess I didn't guess wrong, not to mention that Brando is still the grandson of Lord Darus.
Of course Dawn also noticed these two girls. He didn't think much about it. He only felt that his little master was indeed a capable person. Although the noble daughter and the lady knight are not stunning, they are also rare on the Braggs boundary. His beauties, especially Antitina, who was born from a nobleman, showed an elegant and quiet demeanor in every move. He is a person who has seen the world, and ordinary little nobles can't cultivate such excellent aristocratic etiquette, so they can't help but mutter in their hearts. Isn't your little master going to kidnap an earl's daughter
The other one is even more serious. Dawn can see the identity of Freya's soldier with only a glance, and he has also learned knight etiquette, as if he is still a knight in service. He accidentally glanced at Freya's epaulettes. I couldn't help but call Martha up, and his little master tricked a female knight back from there. He was born in the highland knight system, and he naturally understood Eruin's military system. A knight commander like this must at least be at the level of Silver Peak; Dawn did not see Brando's strength. After all, he reached the elemental civilization. The signs of strength on his body have disappeared instead, and Brando now looks like an ordinary person to outsiders, and no one will associate a young man under twenty with a master of the element level.
To say that others are not clear, he still doesn't know the level of his little master. To say that Brando has been civilized for a year and a half, Dawn must think this is a joke on him.
But he thought of the guests in the manor, and couldn't help but feel a headache, thinking that the two girls brought back by his little master were both excellent and troublesome.
Of course he would not say these words, but Antitina and Freya still felt that Daun’s eyes were a little abnormal when he was looking at them with a girl’s unique keenness. They blushed at the same time. Seeing this scene, Daun felt in his heart. After understanding the eighty-nine points, I thought that my little master was really capable.
The three of them turned into the manor. As soon as they entered and stepped into the manor, Brando's eyes warmed first, because not far from him, he saw a very familiar back. The figure stood in the stable next to the mill. He was forty or fifty years old. He was tall, holding a pipe in his head, and wearing a farmer’s hat commonly seen in this area. The other party obviously didn’t notice anyone behind him at first. Brushing the horse's mane, but when he heard the noise behind him, he turned his head slightly, his eyes fell on Brando, and his eyebrows wrinkled.
This is his father, old Scott.
Brando is still hesitating how to speak when he meets these closest relatives in this world for the first time. When it seems to be a natural reaction, when he sees this face, he has already blurted out subconsciously. : "I'm back, old man..."
Almost his voice was trembling, and a strong emotion was conceived in his chest. That emotion told him that this is his home, his father, and his closest relatives, but he had the intention to say something else, When I opened my mouth, I only felt that my mouth was dry, and I couldn't say a word.
Old Scott didn't speak either, but looked at him silently, then dropped a cold snort, dropped the brush, turned around and walked into the room, leaving Brando standing there awkwardly.
"Hey," Dawn couldn't help sighing when he saw this scene, "Brando, Mr. Scott, he..."
"Needless to say, Uncle Dawn, I understand." Brando also smiled bitterly. Of course he knew it was his fault, and he knew very well the old man’s personality. It used to be called stubbornness in his opinion, but now it’s better to say It is the principle of soldiers. With just a glimpse just now, he already understood that the secret of this family is probably only hidden from Brando. What kind of miller his father is, and his strength is one level higher than Dawn. , And that kind of aura on him is typical of a soldier's style, and now Eruin can only find such a professional soldier among the Highland Knights.
He now understands that his father may have participated in the November War, and he is very likely to be his grandfather's.
He turned his head and saw Freya a little nervous, while the noble lady looked at him narrowly. He also sighed: "Uncle Dawn, you can go work on your own first."
"Good." Dawn obviously understood the master's temper, and agreed again and again. He finally glanced at the three of Brando and led the donkey to the back of the farm. He had something to go out, but now that the little master is back. , Then these trivial matters are just trivial matters.
"Brando, are you okay?" Freya asked Dawn not at ease when she saw Dawn leaving.
Brando gave her a soothing look, saying that it was nothing, but everyone could see that the Lord Earl was calm and calm in the face of the Madara army, the demons, and the Cruz people. For a while, I was actually nervous to death. Antitina looked at the appearance of her lord, and said something to comfort her, but she opened her mouth, but she didn't know how to speak.
After all, it’s the lord’s housework...
After a while, a woman hurriedly ran out of the house inside. As soon as she arrived at the door, she saw Brando standing on the open space outside. She seemed to be possessed. Set it there. At that moment, Brando also had a blockage in his chest. Some feelings do not need words to describe. He didn't expect that he had only left for half a year, and that face in his memory looked a little old. His mother was called Windsor and was nearby. There is a famous beauty, but now she has wrinkles in the corners of her eyes, and silver threads on her temples, as if not seen for a moment, but time has passed.
At that moment, only one sentence emerged in his heart: The son wants to support but does not wait for a kiss.
Windsor was already in tears, and asked cautiously: "Brando, is it really you, are you back?"
Just this sentence completely defeated Brando's psychological defense. He pursed his lips and wanted to say, but he didn't know what to say. His vision was blurred, and he could only nodded vigorously: "Sorry, mother."
"Stupid boy, stupid boy," Windsor rushed to Brando, stroking her son's face affectionately: "Just come back, I'm sorry."
"Mother… "
Brando had a thousand words in his heart at this moment, no matter how bold he was, but they could only be translated into these two words. In his heart all the memories, time, everything in the past, father, mother, grandfather, bit by bit about family affection, seemed to converge into a torrent, spraying out from his chest. He is Sophie and Brando. From the year of blooming flowers and summer leaves to the year of turbulent swords, he has done many things. He even personally changed the country and changed countless people’s lives. Destiny, but only at this moment can he understand that he is not wandering in this world, not a spectator with nothing.
He has everything—
Home, this harbor, represents all those who are waiting for him in the harbor; he once thought that this world was separated from him by a barrier, but he didn't understand until today that it was just built up by him because of fear. It's just a barrier.
And the power of warmth is enough to dismantle the strongest fortress in the world.
And at this moment, Brando finally realized that some things are power hidden in the bones and in the blood. There is no need to use words to describe and describe. Just wait for a certain moment, and it will naturally come from the human heart. It seems to be a cry from the depths of the soul, which is only related to the emotions of nature. Once it erupts, it will overwhelm all rationality. All the emotions of the previous life and this life finally come together at this moment, and in the cloth In Lando's trance vision, the world showed another meaning in his eyes.
It exists.
It's not unreal.
It is the Vaughan that belongs to everyone in this world.
It is also his Vonde.
Brando bent down silently, still being hugged by his mother as if comforting a child, still letting her mother’s tears fall on his shoulders, and there was peace in his heart. All the exhaustion was completely let go at this moment, as if returning. Harbor, has returned to that carefree era. Antitina looked at this scene with some envy. She once had such happiness, but after all she was gone, father, mother, the memories of the past are still vividly remembered. She still remembers the last time her mother put her hands on the sick bed. In the palm of her hand, the scene calling her nickname, "Anna, Anna." The voice was so weak, but so gentle, and her mother's palms were so cold that her heart was also cold, but I don't know when, the noble daughter is already He bit his lower lip, and shed tears in a daze.
But she suddenly felt a soft and weak hand holding her hand from behind, Antitina looked at Freya in surprise, and saw that Miss Cavalier's eyes were also a little red. Freya was made by Cyr. Aunt and uncle raised up, as if she had never seen her parents since she became sensible. She may have never cared about it, but the scene she saw today touched the most fragile string in her heart. .
Brando finally calmed his mother, but unexpectedly the two ladies who followed him had already cried into tears. He looked at them inexplicably, but soon thought of something, his heart softened. , Hurriedly introduced Antitina and Freya to his mother in a low voice.
In fact, Windsor had noticed Antitina and Freya with her son a long time ago. Her eyes were not worse than Daun's. At a glance, she could see that these two girls are the best girls. She couldn't bear it. She gave Brando a glance, as if to blame him for not taking care of the girl well. She only inquired about the life experience of the two from Brando, and she felt infinite sympathy in her heart. She quickly walked over and grabbed the hands of the two and comforted each other in a low voice.
Antitina was okay, she soon calmed down, wiped away the tears, and re-introduced herself to Brando's mother with a little embarrassment. However, she kept claiming that she was Brando’s staff, which caused Windsor to stare at Brando a few times, which means that you will look good in the future. This is really a disaster. Brando couldn’t help but groan secretly in her heart. He hurriedly winked at Antitina from the sidelines, but he didn't expect that the gentle and quiet lady of the staff seemed to have not seen it at this moment. After a while, he secretly smiled at him.
"Damn it." Brando realized that Antitina was playing tricks. He had never seen a noble lady like this before, but it seemed that women were all in common.
Fortunately, Freya is still the country girl from Buche in the past, maintaining a simple and innocent heart. She was a little sad at first, but now she is grasped by Windsor and asked the long and short questions, and she is very embarrassed, so she has to blush and say a word. Can't tell. It was Brando who looked at his mother's situation from the sidelines, and felt that something was wrong no matter how he looked at it. He finally seized the opportunity to interject, and just about to speak, but didn't want Windsor to turn around and said to him somewhat solemnly: "Brando, Freya and Antitina are all good girls, you can't apologize to them."
As soon as she said this, Antitina and Freya's faces blushed, and the lady of the staff gave Brando a little embarrassed, but Freya almost didn't bury her head on her chest.
"Damn, what's this to do." Brando was silly at once, and was about to explain, but his mother gave him a stern look: "By the way, how are you going to explain to Uncle Bund."
"Uncle Bund? Explain? Explain what?" Brando was slightly taken aback, he was a little confused, why didn't he find his mother's thinking so out of mind before. He thought for a while before he finally realized whose name it was—Bnide, the commander of the Highland Knights. "The Highlander is indeed in the manor, and it's very likely that Bunid came in person!" This message flashed through his mind, but he still couldn't help scratching his hair—the question was, what did he have? It seems that Highland Knight explained it? I don't seem to offend them, right? He stared at his mother suspiciously, and asked, "Mother, what is going on?"
